Applications now open for Building Better Regions - Round 5
The Australian Government announced $200 million in the 2020-21 Budget for a fifth round of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).
The $1.04 billion BBRF supports the Australian Government's commitment to create jobs, drive economic growth and build stronger regional communities into the future.
Round 5 includes two streams:
- $100 million to support tourism-related infrastructure projects which are focussed on mitigating the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a region's tourism industry.
- The other $100 million will support regional remote Australia more broadly, by funding general infrastructure projects and community investment projects.
